One year ago today.
We began our greatest adventure. And it has been a year of great change, joy, loss, happiness, laughter, growth, busy schedules, a graduation, a few hospital visits, warm hugs, travels, trials and triumphs.
And I have a wonderful companion with whom to experience all of those things and more.
Travel day. Two hours in the car to Auburn. And then most of the time there in the car too. And then the two hours back to Birmingham.
Visited with our friend, Shane. The Yankee did some paperwork. We shopped. It was a nice, warm, sunny day.
I’d skipped breakfast, nursed a headache most of the day, had crackers for lunch and felt better by the time we had Niffer’s for dinner. When Niffer’s has a wait they give guests giant playing cards. We had the six of clubs. Why that’s worth remembering, I don’t know.
Tomorrow is graudation at Auburn. Students are in their caps and gowns taking photographs a day early. As we left town in the dying light there was a line from the sign in front of Samford Hall all the way back to Toomer’s Corner. Everyone wants to take that picture, I guess.
Speaking of pictures, here’s a fuzzy one I took yesterday.
That’s the logo on the mini-fridge in the journalism department at Samford. King is apparently now operated by a group called Acme Kitchenettes, in mid-state New York. I like the logo, that’s all.
So there’s not much here today, Thursday the 13th. That’s a travel day for you.
